Udupi, Jul 7: Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar, who visited coastal Karnataka today was mesmerised by a combination of rain’s fury and nature’s beauty in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi.

Speaking to media persons on the side-lines of a private programme in the city, the beauty queen said that heavy rains gave her a rousing reception in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi. She said that she was attracted by the special environment of this region.

In answer to a question, the 21-year-old MBBS student said she has no Bollywood plans for now though she may be tempted later to do a film with Aamir Khan, whose films she feels "connect to people in a positive manner."

She said that she was fortunate to be born as a girl in India. “It is wrong to say that India is not safe for women. In fact today no place is safe for anyone today. My success is a proof for what an Indian woman can achieve,” she said.
